Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting some of these beauties imported for my commuter :3

nismo_lmgt4_bronze.jpg

So I need to find what size is best for my car. It's a 1999 R34 GTT. I'm thinking something that would be good for an R34 GTR as well in case I upgrade or need to sell these seperately.

I know there's all this talk about what width and offset and blah blah blah to get, but was hoping there was some input for race specs? I don't need anything too fancy but something that increases performance on the track would be good. I'm a bit of a noob at rim sizing so any help would be very appreciated.

i would go 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear with the lowest offset u can get and make them fit :blink:

dont worry about fitting them to ur next car either just concentrate on ur current ride imo as u never know u may never get that gtr yeah

Good point, although if I sell this car I don't think the average GTT driver is going to be as likely as a GTR driver to pull out the sort of money they are worth. And there's no way I'm selling them with it, too much loss of value.

18s or 19s as well? Stock GTR rims are 18 right?

edit.. maybe not so wide... 9.5 on all or could i go 8's on the front... offset?

I'm fitting 9.5 and 10.5 to mine.

I definitely wouldn't be going 8s on the car. It is way too big for such narrow wheels.

18x9 +30 is GTR34 size so work out how you want them to sit from there :blush:

dont worry about that dude, once u buy one set of expesive rims u just keep going lol, u become whats know as a wheel whore hahaha

and when u decide to sell the car sell the rims seperately for sure.

Love those wheels!

yup, stock GTR rims are 18x9 with a +30 offset, they sit real nicely in GT-t guards

Daniel's R34 GTT looks bad ass!

lol

charlie if you're so worried about losing money on rims, you probably shouldn't be shopping for LMGT4s imo

get some r34 gtr rims, they'll fit no worries and still look nice :happy: not that i'm biased or anything lol

Hah!

I would not bother selling the wheels in the first place, they are a keeper!

Yeah well I either won't sell them... or I will..

I don't care how much something costs, but I always take into consideration the resale value. I might get a GTR one day so I want what is good for that car anyway. Don't want to have to buy the same rims twice. It's likely I will sell this car one day. Specs for the GTR is probably the way to go.

i don't think you are quite getting it..

anything you buy for a GTT will look shit on a GTR. if you buy sweet fitment wheels for a GTR it will be a monster job making them fit your GTT.

so as far as i see it, you're in a bit of a bind if you're intent on only buying the one set of wheels :\

Um Ric? I don't know if you're quite getting it... Why do you think I made this thread? To reinstate what I already know? 'Not quite getting it' would only result from bad explainations. Thank you, THANK YOU for finally giving me the 'correct' answer.

I have a GTT with 18x8.5 +35 front and rear wheels ... they fit nicely with no scrubbing whatsoever. Having said that rears could probably go a little wider ie. 18x9.5 +40 or so would look completely flush and probably require no guard rolling at all

I have Starcorp Impuls on my GTT, they are 18x8.5 fronts & 18x9.5 rears unsure of the offset though. Sit quite flush in the rear but fronts could have sat out a bit more (less offset??).

Anyway have a look at Satanics ride to see how they sit on a 34 :)

lol what?

you're asking for rims that will look good on 2 very different cars. sorry but it's just not going to happen.

if you're so all knowing (not to mention snappy), why did you make this thread? :/

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
